Video: Teaching Kids to Cut Opal

Kids love messing around and if there is water involved they seem to enjoy it more. Today we thought you might like to see Justin teaching kids to cut opal. It’s school holidays over here – almost four weeks with the kids home – in winter! Finding things to do that don’t involve a screen can be challenging so enjoy Justin’s tips for cutting with kids – as well as a useful tip from Saxon as well.

I warn you though, Saxon is a giggle pot and the old adage, ‘You shouldn’t work with children or animals’, is certainly true!
